Private-sector hiring slightly slowed in August, as employers added
204,000 jobs, Automatic Data Processing Inc. reported Thursday.
Economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires had expected an August gain of
215,000, compared with an originally reported increase of 218,000 in
July. On Thursday, ADP revised July's gain to 212,000. Economists use
ADP's data to get a feeling for the U.S. Labor Department's employment
report, which will be released Friday and covers government jobs in
addition to the private sector. Economists polled by MarketWatch expect
the government's report to show that nonfarm employment rose by 226,000
jobs in August, compared with a July gain of 209,000 jobs.
More proof that most if not all of these data releases are gamed.
